Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 200 grams canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 4 large eggs
- 240 milliliters half-and-half (or milk)
- 120 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dill (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently to fit. Trim any excess edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Pre-bake the pie crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and half-and-half together until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, flaked salmon, sliced green onions, salt, black pepper, and dill (if using). Mix well.
Pour the salmon mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled as desired. Pair with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
